No Good Deed...

Well, I was in the Harris Teeter parking lot yesterday waiting to get out when I had my first encounter with a runaway cart. I saw it moving, but it wasn't going to hit me. It was heading straight for this BMW who was not able to get out of the way of it. I didn't think I had time to undo my seatbelt and run around my car to grab it, so my video game instincts must have taken over because I decided to stop it with my car (more accurately I thought I'd tap it with the bumper and maybe stop it). Well, I did slow it down enough for the BMW guy to get out of the way, so that was good. I kept meaning to check it out last night and see if I messed anything up, but forgot till this morning. Obviously, I messed something up.
